Like you already know by now, Im a big fan of Anupam Roy's brand of singing and lyrics....though much of it still manages to not make full sense to me as I don't understand what it means!! :-( I'm sure one day I will know it all....
So here I am right now, sitting by a window that looks out to the sea, and its raining here in Mumbai, monsoon at its full peak, and the cool breeze flowing in through the open window blowing through my hair...and what's playing in my ears???? The amazing acoustic version of one of my most favourite songs ever - Beche Thakar Gaan....and yes, I love this version much much much more than the one used in the movie sung by Rupam? (I hope I got the name correct!)
I only recently heard this acoustic version and its been playing on repeat mode ever since, as was obvious....So sing along, as I share the lyrics here with you....I can't do an expert translate as Im not good at understanding it myself....please excuse me on that..I'll definitely try to work some magic, understand all of this and come back with the translations...
And Anupam, if this ever reaches your eyes...A BIIIG THANKS for making the kind of music that you do and making me and millions of other bengalis and even non-bong or 'probaashi' bongs smile and bring back some cherished memories....a big hug ;-)
Sing Along:
Jodi pheley ditey boley ghola joley kola tuli
Jeno aami kuriye nebo taa
Jodi khuley ditey boley du paaye baandhaa ghungur
Jeno aami khultey debo na
Jodi pheley.......
Aar aami aami jaani jaani choraabaali kotokhaani gilechhey aamader roj
Aar aami aami jaani jaani proti raatey hoyeraani haaraano shobder khonj
Aar ebhabei norom baalishe
Tomaar oi chokher naalishe
Bechey thaak raat porider snaan
Thontey niye beche thhaakar gaan
Aar ebhaabei mukher chaadore
Porichito haather aadore
Shukhey thhaak raat porider snaan
Thonte niye baachiye raakhaar gaan
Jodi kere nitey boley kobita thhasha khaata
Jeno kere nite debo na
Jodi thheme jete boley piano baashi guitar
Jeno aami thhamte debo na
Aar aami aami jaani jaani.......
Wow...how can you be so good at what you do???!!!
